With adequate preparation , they can beat mamelodi sundown's female team at the Championship proper

Thanks boss. Hopefully they really give it a go with the prep. Let the team camp in Spain and face some sides there.

The rules remain unchanged regardless of your sentimental emotions. If you have scored 20 League goals a season once in your career you’re a ONE SEASON WONDER thus far until you replicate that feat. This rules applies to everyone not just osimehn. Anyway Congratulations to osimehn on his impending Chelsea Deal and hopefully he scores 20 league goals. The best football analyst on this platform is KOMEHN because the bobo DGAF about your feelings he speaks documented Facts. I didn’t like his nwakali virtrol sha
So a player scores 20 league goals ,then another season he scores 18 ,and next he scores 19,and he continues to score 19,18 league goals consistently,
Will he still be considered a one season wonder?

So sad, heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and the team. Quick recovery for all injured. Meanwhile is it Christian Obi, the ex SE goalie?

Ejuke 6 dribbles in 19 minutes.
Cheat code
I watched the match
He was literally strolling passed the Villareal defenders
But I noticed something, after making these dribbles, he was always too in haste to cross the ball and he was making those dribbles too far from the 18 yards.
He should try and always play near the opponent 18 yards so that from these dribbles, he can score from some.

I'm desperate for a compilation clip. But the fact it's not coming says it all.

6 dribbles completed with zero shots, 1 chance created and only 6 successful passes is just pure egoistic football and non-existent teamwork.

He looked like he had rid himself off this in Friendlies.

I guess that's why he's being benched

No one ever described Osimhen as a one season wonder except you, and we all know why..
Didier Drogba spent 11 seasons in Chelsea and only scored 20+ goals twice over those 11 seasons
Nobody called him a 2 season wonder
And it took Drogba a whole 3 seasons to get 20 goals o
But when it comes to Osimhen, you come out with yeye standards under the guise of transfer amount or wanting the best for him
Others that were bought for $100M+ in the last few seasons, name 1 that has truly shone and how many of them were killed for not turning up?

Mauni, Nunez, Anthony, Mudryk etc were $100m and nobody is demanding 3 goals per game. Nevertheless EPL defence is crap and Osimhen will ...

You are being overly emotional again and cannot see for your blinded fanaticism you are a true Fan. No objectivity just sentiment.

Nunez, Anthony, Mudryk are not quintessential number 9's and expectations were not as high. Nonetheless, they all came from less competitive league than the EPL with huge expectations and the flopped badly 😮.

You said EPL defenders are rubbish therefore anytime he plays he should score and therefore be at least in the top three top goal 🥅 scorers.

Many here think he is better than Haaland so he shouldn't score less than 25. That implies that VO record against EPL clubs is unquestionably outstanding.

As I earlier stated, he had no single shot from these dribbles because he had them too far from the opponent 18 yards. Even Iheanacho had a shot that was unbelievably saved by the Villareal goalkeeper, who was named MOTM.
But trust me, with what I saw in the few minutes Ejuke played, if he is given more game time, he will have alot of assist instead of goals this season, and the Sevilla fans seems to love him already

Maybe, but he would need to "earn" those minutes by posting numbers that count..

He will be judged by number of successful passes, chances created, assists, pre-assists, dribbles or shots that lead to goals, etc
He needs to improve those indices..
He can do them

I saw the game yesterday too
And after all the euphoria of the dribbles have died, people will look at statistics and overall contributions
He needs to improve those fast or atleast try

I don't think we will see Ejuke playing deeper or in a more inverted pattern soon, due to the tactical demand of the management.

Garcia Pimienta shares a lot of ideas with Guardiola and Guardiola loves his wingers hugging the touch lines. So expect Chidera Ejuke playing wide for now.

With more game time, the stats will come for Chidera Ejuke. He is still learning the system.

If you are chelsea core fan as claimed, after seeing the Guiu miss VS Serviete, you wont still want a season wonder at your club. Or am i missing something?

Guiu is not even on osimehn level. Also, A “one season wonder” thus far it doesn’t mean that he cannot replicate that performance. He has to replicate that Napoli title winning performance and the label automatically delete itself. I’m not the one that created this standards. Osimehn to Chelsea, Arsenal or PSG loading.

If he add few goals and assist to what he displayed yesterday, he is gonna be a household name in Sevilla.
The fans were already chanting whenever the ball was passed to him, even the commentators acknowledged he had lightened the game since coming in

The echo of noise was huge when Chidera Ejuke was coming on. You are right that the Sevilla fans love him. I expect him to improve with time. The coach needs to be more flexible with his approach to onboard Iheanacho and Ejuke fast into the team.

Chidera Ejuke has done well so far to get to where he is today. He has faced lots of odds and I expect him to make the most of this opportunity.
